Los Angeles , California -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Erykah Badu shed her clothes as she walked along a Dallas , Texas , sidewalk until she was nude and then fell near where President Kennedy was assassinated .

The result was a controversial video , released Saturday , for her song `` Window Seat , '' which Badu said was `` shot guerrilla style '' with no crew and in one take March 17 .

Children could be seen nearby as Badu stripped in Dealey Plaza , a popular tourist spot since Kennedy 's 1963 assassination .

The singer 's management did not immediately respond to request for comment , but Badu responded to the controversy via Twitter .

She tweeted that `` there were children there . i prayed they wouldnt b traumatized . ''

Badu will not face indecent exposure charges for shedding her clothes on the Dallas , Texas , sidewalk , a Dallas Police spokeswoman said .

Although children were nearby , no one filed a complaint against Badu after the March 17 incident , Dallas Police Senior Cpl. Janice Crowther said .

`` But if we had had a call and would have caught Ms. Badu in the act of walking down the street taking her clothes off , she would have been charge with a Class B misdemeanor , '' she said .

The R&B singer said she was making a statement against `` groupthink , '' which she tweeted was an `` unwritten rule '' that `` i will not express my true opinion if it opposes those i love and fear . ''

Some fans sent tweets praising Badu 's artistic vision .

One fan tweeted to Badu on Sunday : `` thank you , because your being brave , i no longer feel afraid to say what i really feel . ''

The video opens with a November 22 , 1963 , radio broadcast describing Kennedy 's motorcade turning onto Elm Street seconds before fatal shots were fired .

In the video , Badu is behind the wheel of a 1965 Lincoln Continental , parked along Kennedy 's route . A single camera focuses on her as she walks toward Elm Street and the book depository where Kennedy 's assassin fired his rifle .

Badu tweeted that `` i was petrified while shooting this video ... but liberation began to set in . i conquered many fears in that few moments . ''

She said she was `` too busy lookin for cops '' to be embarrassed by her nudity . `` i been naked all along in my words actions and deeds . thats the real vulnerable place , '' she tweeted .

The video does not include shouts from people off camera , she said . `` they were yelling , ` THIS IS A PUBLIC PLACE : YOU OUGHTA BE ASHAMED : PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON : DAMN GIRL ! etc , '' Badu tweeted .

More than a dozen people stood along the plaza 's `` grassy knoll '' when Badu took off the last piece of clothing .

`` the people caught in the shot were trying hard to ignore me , '' she tweeted .

As she reached the spot where Kennedy was first struck by a bullet , the crackle of a gunshot is heard and Badu 's head snaps back and she falls to the ground as if dead .

Badu said when the camera stopped `` we ran . ''

The singer was born in Dallas , where she is raising her three children -- ages 1 , 5 and 12

She tweeted to fans about her 5-year-old daughter 's response when told of her plans for the video : `` she looked at me with a blank face and replied ok mama can i have another pudding ? ''

The video was released days before the singer 's next album , `` New Amerykah Part Two : Return of the Ankh , '' hits record stores . The single `` Window Seat '' is at No. 28 on Billboard 's R&B / hip-hop chart .
